The Wyle Cop bar area has a cafe-style atmosphere, and almost a Scandinavian feel, with its oak floors, slatted benches and loose upholstery. The nearby Inglenook bar has a flagstone floor and a large open fire, and upstairs is the Star Bar, next to the private dining room and conference area. In keeping with this "feel", there is no chintz and no clutter. There is a terrace garden area with a prominent lion (but no obvious sign of a pheasant). In 2019 the right hand ground floor, formerly another commercial property, was renovated and opened as Ernest & Co. a fine wine, cheese and charcuterie bar. It is operating as a separate business but shares toilet facilities and the garden with the pub. A small seating area connects the two bars. It is open 6 - 11 on a Thursday, 3 - 11 on a Friday and 12 - 11 on a Saturday. It does not serve cask beer. Two real ales and two handpumped ciders (usually Weston's which are not "real" as defined by CAMRA). Beer prices are above the average for the area It is the sister pub to the Boathouse (q.v.) on the other side of the River Severn.
